Cool, Actually Sunfilms are must in summers and llumar is great brand.Enjoy!


RoadRocket

Thanks RR.
But I've a question regarding sunfilm, Today, I noticed very small bubbles on the film, So what does it means? Was the Installation not done properly and will it affect on film's life?

VT

Oh! That is not a good sign. But how big are them? If it is very small and visible only under careful observation, then it is not a problem. But if they big enough to see, then there is some problem with installation. Wait for a week's time for proper understanding.

They are very tiny, When I was cleaning the window today, Then I noticed them.

VT

Not to worry about small bubbles, They come in most of the cases. :)


RoadRocket

the tiny bubbles happen due to improper installation. air getting is between is one reason, other could be dirt or dust particles which means the window was not cleaned proprerly before installation of sunfilm.

thats due to bad installation, if the bubbles are big, ask the tint fellow to replace it with a new one

Hi Akash,
Thanks, I got the wooden finish job done from Karol Bagh Market, Delhi.
You can get this easily from any good accessory dealer near you, It would cost around Rs. 800-1k.
About the other modifications in your car, I think starting a new thread will be nice idea. :)

Recently i asked MS dealership about the cost of painting Swift's bumper, they said it would cost Rs. 2500.

i think he is talking about the case in which you need to get a new bumper, like in case of an accident and other cases in which the bumper gets damaged, you dont get bumpers in color from the accessories store, you get them in black and you need to get it painted

So in that case, i believe, they adjust money from bumper's cost itself.

My bumper has scratches on left side. So asked him(service guy) about painting it. He said the scratches are less, you can do it once you get bigger ones. So i asked him about how it'll cost and he said 2.5k rs for front alone.

[quote=napster]no they wont, they charge extre for the paint, the price they show is only for a black bumper[/quote]What I'm saying is that they adjust the price of paint from the cost of bumper itself!

RoadRocket

In metallic paint, they'll remove the paint altogether and re-paint the whole part. So i guess it is just the same. Correct me, if i'm wrong.

if there are less scratches, wy dont get a regular touchup done? that will not cost you much

Please come back to M800 Topic. :offtopic:

Swift's bumpers are bigger than 800. Swift is dimensionally bigger than 800(by width). And the height of bumper of Swift is higher than 800. The area to be painted in 800 is less. Ok any way, it is the MS fixed price and should be same across India. And lets get back to the topic. :offtopic:
